FOX have announced release dates for six more movies based on Marvel Comics between 2019 and 2021. The dates are June 7th 2019, November 22nd 2019, March 13th 2020, June 26th 2020, October 2nd 2020, and March 5th 2021. These are in addition to the 3 movies already announced for 2018 which are ‘New Mutants’ (April 13th 2018), ‘Deadpool 2′ (June 1st 2018), and ‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’ (November 2nd 2018)!

I had to do something different. The monster stories have their limitations — you can just do so many of them. And then it becomes a monster book month after month, so there had to be a switch because the times weren’t exactly conducive to good sales. So I felt the idea was to come up with new stuff all the time — in other words there had to be a blitz. And I came up with this blitz. I came up with The Fantastic Four, I came up with Thor (I knew the Thor legends very well), and the Hulk, the X-Men, and The Avengers. I revived what I could and came up with what I could. I tried to blitz the stands with new stuff. The new stuff seemed to gain momentum.

Happy 100th Birthday, Jack Kirby, and thank you for ushering in the Marvel Age of Comics with your fantastic creations!
